Oh cool so Florida is the place to go by the sounds of things

And Sunny if you got permission for us to meet somewhere that would be great. I am sure I could bribe my friend to make a detour from Pittsburgh so we could meet.

Steven I will put Denver on my list of possibles as well.  I was actually there briefly a long time ago when I backpacked through parts of the US/Canada and Mexico after uni

One day I will travel through South America Phoenix but unfortunately it wont be this time.

Thanks for the info about the beaches there Kneel forAnne [:)]

And yep DC, Washington is another on my list of possibles.

smiles...thanks BitchGoddessD for your suggestions as well

Gwynn I wasn't sure where you were. That is fantastic.... so I will see GT post her wedding and you pre yours. Yay.

smiles....thanks Windchymes for the information.  I realise that with such a limited amount of time and a fairly small budget that I wont be able to see everyone and everything I would hope to see so I figured that I can work out some satellite points in between a few people I could go to those places to kill a few birds with one stone so to speak...... um not that I am planning on stoning anyone.

I am flying from LA to Pittsburgh and most likely will have a few other flights, NYC to somewhere in \Florida maybe and one to Columbus and a couple of others.  Angel had sent me a map with the USA superimposed over a map of Australia to give me an idea of the size of the country.  I am used to jumping on flights to go the equivalent of New Orleans to LA just for a weekend [:)]

Pure NYC is one of my absolute must see's so we will defnitely meet up - yay




purepleasure -> RE: Wanders is coming to America....watch out! (2/14/2009 4:51:13 PM)

let me know what date ahead of time!  I will so be there and bring whomever I can along.




LookieNoNookie -> RE: Wanders is coming to America....watch out! (2/14/2009 5:09:16 PM)

Just a few pointers Wanders....

1)  We drive on the left side of the road over here...just like you guys do (don't believe all those movies).

2)  Contrary to what people in many countries do...here, the middle finger is simply a way of saying "You're Number One!!!".  The proper response is to tell them they're number one as well.  (Remember to smile when you do it though).

3)  If you get pulled over for a driving infraction, always remember, US police very much love coffee.  If you offer to buy them a cup of coffee, they'll usually let you off.  Because ours is still such a male dominated society, and most police are men, having women buy them coffee is often taken as insulting, essentially making them feel effeminate.  The proper way to make this offer is to carefully fold the money and tuck it discreetly underneath your drivers license as you hand it to them.  In most US cities, coffee runs about $100.00.

I have some other great travel tips, but I don't like to give away all my secrets in such an open forum.

Let me put in a bid!!!

C'mon over to Denver and I'll take you to the Pikes Peak Cog Railway.  I can throw in other things such as tours of small mountain towns, the Cave of the Winds, Seven Falls, the Manitou Cliff Dwellings, a working silver mine in Idaho Springs, and the local comedy circuit.


Dang sounds like my first honeymoon and we drove to CO.....course besides the now adult kids the honeymoon and them was all that came out good from it

Seven Falls just swept me away, especially night view, plus if I recall (never trust that) isnt there a memorial or home or something where emily dickenson lived or another well know aurthor? Only thing I dont think we caught on your list was the working silver mine, but we did the Royal Gorge and Cripple Creek which was like going back in time.  The hotel room was amazing although I had trouble getting up in the tall feather bed LOL

Its a loverly place to visit but I have always been partial to mountains and area around.

I would say yes yes New York but due to circumstances I dont think I will be living there once I get back from my extended visit with Phoenix and poen, the two of them are absoutly addicting, and a couple of the most genuine people I have had to pleasure of spending extended time with.  I just cant say enough about then, as for the first time in I dont know how many years...I have enjoyed being around people, or having the chance to make lifetime friends.

SF, thanks for the support.  I'll need it to lure wanders here!

The Royal Gorge is maybe an hour south of Colorado Springs, so it's two hours south of Denver.  Kinda far.  Cripple Creek, along with Blackhawk and Central City, changed its nature when it allowed limited stakes gambling, which I assume was after you visited it.

I'm not sure what you mean by a famous author.  Stephen King lived in Boulder for a while and based The Shining's Overlook Hotel in Sidewinder upon the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park.  But his residence was never a landmark.  Kathy Lee Bates wrote America the Beautiful while on Pikes Peak - maybe that's it?

Wooo Hooo have a wonderful time when you're here!!!!! [sm=banana.gif][sm=banana.gif][sm=banana.gif]

I arrive on the 24th I think and leave on the 12th May (or something like that), flying in and out of LA.

LA as in Los Angeles (not Louisiana) yes? [:D]
And will you be staying at least a day or two on one or the other end of your trip so that the SoCali Pervert Contingent gets a chance to meet you?? [:)] I'm down near San Diego, but it's a pretty easy drive.

As for places to go, lots to do in LA. I would also suggest a trip to San Francisco, if you have the time. There are several CMers up there, and it is a city not to be missed if you can squeeze it in!
I would suggest a Las Vegas Perv Convention like Steel's b-day, but it sounds like you will be a busy gal trying to get to so many places in such a short time.

NEwport, RHode Island is great.... Provincetown on Cape Cod is AWESOME!!

OBVIOUSLY, central Florida *grin* (I can get ya a cheap hotel room in Tampa)



GT speaks truth. There are a flock of bed&breakfasts to be had in Newport, plus some regular hotels . The Newport Dinner Train is a unique experience - campy but very interesting as it runs past the fringe of the Navy scrapyard on the Narragansett Bay. There are several places to party and the food is excellent. My favorite part is all the art galleries and bakeries/candy shoppes along Thames Street. You can drive to Point Judith (Galilee) and take the ferry to Block Island. I love Newport - never a dull moment there !




everhope -> RE: Wanders is coming to America....watch out! (2/15/2009 7:33:44 AM)

wanders,
please add the ResidentSadistSir and i to your list of Floridians that would be pleased to meet you.
 
what an exciting adventure you about to embark on!

Damn, I thought that you might not go that far yet...well, depending when that will be the case then I am happy to meet you there [:)] I want to get back to there in the near future...

Gwynn I wasn't sure where you were. That is fantastic.... so I will see GT post her wedding and you pre yours. Yay.

Well, if you are happy to wait until July or August with your trip, then I am happy to be there as well *wink wink wink*



see my comments in the box...




sunshinemiss -> RE: Wanders is coming to America....watch out! (2/15/2009 9:00:10 AM)

I think wanders should go to Colorado and swoop in and take Dark Steven's heart and then they can have a ... a .. something and we can all meet up again.

Yeah.  that's a good plan.  Oh and please put angel in your luggage.  She'll fit in one of those big duffel bags.  Or an oil drum.  I saw it on NCIS.

Like I said my memory isnt best and that was some 30 years ago, Im sure all that has changed. We didnt go higher up the state than Colorado Springs.  I have yet to see Denver..

And always happy to lend support *grins*

SassySarijane -> RE: Wanders is coming to America....watch out! (2/15/2009 12:24:52 PM)

Wanders, I hope you have such a blast on your visit to the states. Would love to meet you, but not a lot of those from the boards close to where I am in Missouri, so wouldn't be an exciting thing. I'd, and I am sure many others, love to hear about the trip after you are home again. It sounds like it is shaping up to be quite an adventure!!
